Title: Continuous Glucose Monitors
Post by: fuzeman on June 27, 2025, 02:30:51 PM
Thinking about trying one for awhile to see what foods effect my glucose levels and how much?
Taking a salamander-your-finger [ hilarious what the bad word filter did there  :) ] stick-your-finger break would be nice also!

Opinions on ones you use?  Cost, ease of use, monitoring [ I have an iPhone 8 Plus.  :old:], anything I should consider?

What would be really nice would be a keytone\glucose dual tracker.

libre3 did not work with my Samsung Xcover and my Iphone kept killing sensors. I still have 2 sensors left but they have been discontinued and replaced by the Libre 3 plus. Mine came with it's own monitor that I plan on using ... Unfortunately it's one more device I have to carry.

I would compare to alternatives and see which work best for you and what your health care provider is willing to pay for.
